A-Data XPG Plus Series DDR3-2200+ v2.0 Testing



A-Data Technology sent me 2 pairs of memories for testing and write up. A-Data XPG Plus Series DDR3-2200+ v2.0 and A-Data XPG X series 2000X, both of this are the latest memory modules for intel latest i5/i7 platform on P55 chipset motherboards.

The XPG Plus Series DDR3-2200+ v2.0 is the is the highest speed of DDR3 DRAM module in the series as well as the industry. This superior 2 x 2GB dual channel module binned with DDR2200Mhz with CL8-8-8-24. The Plus Series memory kits is equipped with a well design heatsink to provide better cooling namely Thermal Conductive Technology (TCT). It is built on 2oz copper 8 layers PCB which helps in power efficiency for the memory module.



Let's have some brief introcution of A-Data Technology.
A-DATA Technology founded in May, 2001 by Mr. Simon Chen, the Chairman and also the CEO of the company. Based on DRAMeXchange 2006 and iSuppli 2006 reports, A-DATA ranks second in the world for DRAM Modules and fourth for Flash Disks respectively. A-DATA has won many of the most recognized international awards, the name a few, the National Silver Award of Excellence in Taiwan, Japan’s G-MARK (Good Design Award), CES Innovations Award in the US and iF Design award and reddot design award in Germany.











Let's proceed to the testing now.

Overclocking Test

Test Bed
CPU: Intel Corei7 860
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth 55i
Memory: ADATA XPG Plus Series DDR3 2200+ v2.0
GPU: MSI 9800GTX+ MOA Edition
Cooling: AquaXtreme MP-05 Waterblock


Test Method
A series of tests will be conducted to find out the true potential power of the A-Data XPG Plus Series DDR3-2200+ v2.0 memory. Benchmarks used would be Super PI Mod v1.5XS 32M and Everest Cache and Memory Benchmark . Tests that will be conducted includes:
1. Maximum memory speed @ CL6, 1.75v
2. Maximum memory speed @ CL7 , 1.75v
3. Maximum memory speed @ CL8 , 1.75v
4. Maximum memory speed @ CL8, 1.8v





DDR3-1800 @ 6-6-6-24 1T @ 1.75v





DDR3-2060 @ 7-7-7-24 1T @ 1.75v





DDR3-2260 @ 8-8-8-24 1T @ 1.75v



DDR3-2480 @ 8-8-8-24 1T @ 1.85v

well this is very subjective on you shd overclock it further or not. you can always be adventurous to try higher speed or u can even try to use tighter timing. first u will need to set a "safe" voltage for daily use then u start to overclock it and find a stable speed for your daily use. see how much it goes... one important thing, heat would be your biggest enemy in overclocking, it will limit the overclockability of the memory and it also will degrade the lifespan of the memory if no proper cooling applied to it, this rules goes for other components as well. hope this helps u a little


to be frank i dont intend to run memtest on this modules as the testing i did was targeted for overclockers who is gonna run benchmarks to break some records rather than daily usage. anyway since there is more overclockers who overclock their system for daily usage, guess i will need to include some stability test for you guys for reference purposes. thx for the input. =)

This is Elpida Hyper of coz =)
i will conduct more test soon, hopefully by end of this week, may be with some simple stress test as well

where u got the mem from?

yeah they produce a lot of good memory... they have the interest to bring the high performance memory to malaysia... then no need to buy from tw already lol

the 2200+ should be using the elpida hyper chip... didnt open mine tho
anyway i got another pair of mem from A-Data... now still undergoing some testing.... review will out soon... stay tune
